Once upon a time, there was a simple rural woman who was deeply devoted to Buddhism. She often visited the nearby temple to worship and learn from the monks there. Despite her poverty, she would donate whatever she could, such as grain or clothes, to help the monks in the temple. Her sincerity and kindness moved the abbot of the temple, who personally explained the Buddhist teachings to her and guided her in her spiritual practice.
